u/Equivalent-Wrap-9121

Hello friends, I picked this up at an estate sale to give to my sweetheart for his overflowing magic the gathering collection. I’m hoping to address the chipping paint/lacquer, and coat it in something so it doesn’t get worse.

I have no illusions that it will be “restored” but would like to be able to utilize it without it degrading with every touch.

I picked up some clear lacquer from Lowe’s and some clear epoxy for the crack in the lid. I’d love to fill the chips in with gold paint/leaf ala lazy/cheap kintsugi but I’m also trying to finish this by the time he gets back from a conference. Thanks in advance for any responses!
